Housing and Residence Life creates the communities in which students live, study and build friendships. TCU is a residential campus by design, with approximately 5,000 students living on campus. These students learn responsibility, problem-solving and how to be leaders. They begin to appreciate the unique perspective of others and develop a sense of belonging. The Department of Housing and Residence Life challenges, supports and educates residents within our communities to become responsible, aware and engaged citizens.
